Taya giggled into her fist as Izo questioned who she was.

"Well, I guess I can't blame you for being a little confused. I guess we didn't talk to each other yesterday, huh? I'm Taya, Taya Tsuin. It's so nice to properly meet you!"

She gave the priestly teenager a beaming smile, radiating with optimism. It was around then that Chikako entered the building, announcing her grandiose desires to escape with each and every single one of them in tow. Taya gave the other girl a pity smile, but when she noticed what Izo had muttered to himself, the girl whipped her head around again.

"A-Ah, no, Saitou! You shouldn't do that! I-I think you should have a little more faith in everyone..."

Taya sheepishly scratched her cheek, her smile softening as she was a little flustered. The girl turned her attention back to Chikako, thinking over the proposal she'd given everyone. Flare had also spoken up, being in full support of the idea.

"Um, if I may..." Taya began as she got up from her seat, swallowing her saliva to suppress her nerves.

"I think we should wait on Emiya and the others to arrive, first. He wanted us to gather here and, um... I think it's best if we calmly think this over instead of rushing things."

She gently sat back down on the bench, silence falling over the cafeteria for a few seconds.

"This is a waste of time, but sure. Why not, right?" a voice called out from the far-end of the room. Taya turned her head towards the source. The voice belonged to Momoe, who kicked herself off the wall and started to pace through the mess hall. Some hair fell in front of her face, which she promptly flicked away again.

"I don't think you lot would get much done if you ran out again like yesterday, anyway."

Taya trailed the other girl for a short while, even though the smuggler remained silent after her last comment. The cross-dresser watched Momoe snatch one of the sandwiches from their plates on her way to her destination, which turned out to be Hiroki's table. Taya turned her head away just as the smuggler was about to sit down, looking back at Izo. She was still smiling like always, but it was much more nervous compared to before.

"Mizuno is a rather scary person, huh...?"
